Related: About this forumSpike Lee's Da 5 Bloods
Watching Spike Lee during this year's Academy Awards, I kept wondering what he's done lately. Now I know.
Un-whitewashed Vietnam history. Highly recommended.

Thanks! I'll watch that, too. I haven't seen anything from him since Black KKKlansman.

Back to the future meets Black Lives Matter. I did not like the ending, but really good.

Much appreciated!
I'm watching Da 5 Blood right now. I'm thinking it's going to be a version of Apocalypse Now or The Treasure of Sierra Madre (with a MAGA hat reminder thrown in). Am I on the right track?

Thought it was his best in quite some time.
That's saying something, since I thought that about Black KKKlansman.
So far it's rough and real and more complicated than it looks.
